The War of Currents (sometimes, War of the Currents or Battle of Currents) was a series of events surrounding the introduction of competing electric power transmission systems in the late 1880s and early 1890s including commercial competition, a debate over electrical safety, and a media/propaganda campaign that grew out of it, with the main players being the direct current (DC) based Edison Electric Light Company and the alternating current (AC) based Westinghouse Electric Company. It took place during the introduction and rapid expansion of the alternating current standard (already in use and advocated by several US and European companies) and its eventual adoption over the direct current distribution system. Three aspects have been conflated together into the "war": open competition involving large electric companies and their developing systems, a general fear in the public's mind of death by accidental electrocution from high voltage AC leading to a debate over its safety and regulation, and the debate and behind the scene maneuvers associated with the introduction of the electric chair.

We all know Thomas Edison, his accomplishments are legendary, over 1000 patents were issued to this prolific inventor. Nikola Tesla, noted Serbian academic, was another inventor from the same period, trained in Europe as an engineer, he emigrated to the United States where he never attained the stature of Edison but arguably accomplished more. He is the inventor of our modern electrical power grid. This video summarizes this accomplishment and the role that both Edison and Tesla played in this accomplishment.
The story about why DC power systems are returning to common use and how it is happening.
Have you always wondered if you shocked yourself with electricity, which type of electricity would hurt more: AC (Alternating Current) or DC (Direct Current)? Wait no more!

Twitter: @addohms Web: www.addohms.com Just what the heck is the difference between "AC" and "DC? And if the "C" stands for "current", then why do people say 120VAC? This video takes a look at both AC and DC using simple example circuits for each. Previous video mention: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYZUXV-v71Y

Party gonna happen at the union hall
Shakin to the rhythm till everybody fall
Pickin up my woman in my Chevorlet
Glory hallelujah gonna rock the night away
I'm gonna roll roll roll
